|  Subject: Workarounds to "no message from Lightning" and Sarcophagus teleport blocking ladder  Thu 22 Sep 2022 - 16:53 | |
| (Edited to separate 'ladder' workaround.) - No introductory SMS from Lightning:
At the end of the 'big meeting' in Agroprom, - Spoiler:
after talking to an old friend at the gate, MO receives an SMS from a new character, Lightning, and this begins the next section of the game. This SMS has not occurred for me in two playthroughs of the latest patch 1.1.0019.5. Without it, Lightning does not spawn and there is no way forward. Fortunately I was able to switch to a save game from my 1.1.0019.1 playthrough and continue from there, but obviously this is not possible if this is your first playthrough or you don't have a suitable save game available.
If you experience the same problem, after some investigation I found this workaround that may help. - Spoiler:
After returning to the Bar, I spawned info portion podval_sarkofag_nayti. This starts the task to find Lightning, and the task description includes a photo of her location. (You will miss several SMS messages doing this, but they aren't vital and you can read them in my [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] if you want to.) When I reached her location, she appeared and I was able to talk to her and continue playing.
- Teleport blocking ladder to code-locked door in Sarcophagus:
On your way to find Lightning, you may experience another bug. The teleport blocking the way to the hidden part of the Sarcophagus is supposed to disappear after you visit the Wish Granter, but in my games it was still be there. I found that you can bypass this by jumping diagonally over the teleport and into the back corner of the small room with the ladder, then jump over the teleport again and onto the ladder. Be warned, this may take several attempts, so quicksave after every successful jump!
EDIT: You may need to increase your jump height if you are unable to jump onto the ladder*. There is an appendix in the walkthrough that explains how to do this.
(*My thanks to PapyStalker for reminding me of this.)
Alternatively you can use the ESC+F2 teleport menu to 'npp2control', which drops you in the room full of computer equipment close to Lightning's location. There will probably be enemies waiting here, so I advise turning on 'God' mode in the game options first or you will probably be killed as soon as you arrive!
NB: if you are trying this method on your first visit to this area, before entering the final room I would work back around the corridors to kill the enemies you have bypassed. I would also try going through the code-locked door from this side to see if you can open it. (I don't know if that works, I haven't tried.)

You're not alone. No SMS from the new character after the big meeting. | |

You're not alone. No SMS from the new character after the big meeting. Regarding jumping on to ladders: I have watched several commentaries in Stalkermods and tried it both ways myself in Stalkersoup. Jumping onto ladders without first putting gun away, is often in my opinion the cause of falls. It is easier with guns in their slots but not held by Players' Marked One. | |
